I think they are related to the ATA driver. I have a Promise Ultra 100/TX2. I am using the cable that came with my disk so I assume it is correct. My system boots all right to an IDE disk. If I try moving a file bigger than 1.5 megs or so onto the ATA drive, the system completely locks up. Small (e.g. 30k) files can be moved onto the ATA drive and read with 'more'. I am more than happy to run tests to help diagnose this issue, but I am not seeing anything unusual in the log files; it's a total instant freeze (sometimes a spontaneous reboot). Scott
